Forth round first journal

I still consider myself new at this. Have just finished my 3rd grow. All have been successful. But for this time i decided to fit the max amout for my space. Basically a 3x 4x 2&1/2, ventilation, and wrapped in mylar. Alot of options on light distribution as well. The first pic is of the newest start, the rest of previous grows.

Got a few more 6500k's. I have had success without even using them, so this should help speed things along. After transplanting will update again.

Also a question: I have an array of lights, being temperature and color. Is a mix of color better than not?

beginning of 3rd week. looking good considering 2 got a little root bound before transplant. Keeping lights close and watering with little molasses, beginning to introduce nutes.

nutes introduced, using a mild all organic 5-2-5 mix. PH at around 6.7. Humidity 20% temp low 80's. Ventilation filters air once an hour for 15 minutes. End of 3 weeks and already have a faint smell. Looking prosperous.

Looking good topped one, will top the other 2 later. The little shorty is looking very nice. Going to be very bushy.

just updated my box again, can't seem to settle.

a few specs:
4x2.5x3 lined in mylar and foil tape
4" ventilation intake
4 2" filtered portholes at top
1 dual direction fan
3 light bars (homeade)
2 20w & two 26w 6500K
3 40w 2700K

Nutes:
started after full germination with light molasses and water for natural sugars for a good start
began introducing nutes the 3rd week

Now week 4

two seem to be twins
attemtped to top and stop verticle growth of one
need to increase humidity
at a steady 20% now low 80 degree temp

Finished 4th week changing from 24 to 18/6. First full day into 12/12. The twins got a little too tall the last few days, may have to weigh/tie them off. Others are very nice and tight, even a small aroma. No sexes yet

Things are looking good, got quite a few bud sites. All three girls look helthy and strong. Giving doses of mollasses on occasion.

What are you using for lights in 12/12

5 42w 2700 and one 13w for the small spaces

ahh I couldnt see. try to get a hps light if you can. I think you can get a security light for fairly cheap that is hps. http://cgi.ebay.com/LITHONIA-HIGH-BAY-LIGHTS-400W-HPS-277V-N660A_W0QQitemZ380059045455QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116
It looks like a piece of shit tho lol.

looking good dude, I am keeping an eye on your grow, I am on my first and doing cfls like you. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/155973-ganjalist-1st-time-grow-skunk.html
what kind of solutions are you doing with the molasses, how much molasses to water?

I haone one gallon mixed with 1tbs of molasses, uses in every 3rd or 4th watering. I alternate nutes, water, molasses, water, nutes


I am ok with the CFL's they suit my needs and have grown some good product in the past, but thaks ganjalist

Should have known space was going to get tight quick. Now all three are bent over. It was better to do this now then later.

Had about a week of no new growth or progress, since these are a sativa strain I believe all energy was used in root growth since they are bent over the roots needed to build up due to additional strain. But now I am begining to get good bud growth and one has started to get good trichome growth. This is the longest grow I have had. Hopefully things will continue to advance since I only have about a week and a half till I have to stop everything.
